[#9292956]

So split up with an Ex a just under a year ago and still think about her daily. We are still friends and I see her every month or 6 weeks and we get on really well.
There was nothing bad between us and we only split up as I was getting twitchy about her wanting to move in and it wall getting a bit serious. There was loads of other stuff including financial problems, job being crappish, managing my kids and relationship (She’s not the kids mum) and the kids got on really well with her.
I`m really not entirely sure I want to get back with her but really miss her.
So anyone got any advice on situations like this?

This is important.

Grass is always greener and all that but as soon as you go back you remember why you left. I must admit my gut reaction is run away but in your case if it really was twitchiness about things moving too quick then maybe it'll work out if you are happy for things to head that way now. I've a couple of acquaintances who split up not long into a relationship, then got back together and are now both happily married as far as I know so it can work

This is the decision you need to make.

Do you miss her or just 'someone'?

Ask yourself "What [s]will[/s] would Lilian do?"

Oh dear.

It depends, on the face of it - you ended the relationship because she wanted more commitment and you didn't.

If you're ready for that now, then maybe, but I reckon you've got to be ready for it, not just happy to put up with it to have her back.

ask her, she may make the decision on your part redundant! 😉

I'm married to someone who was, for a bit, my ex. Made me realise that no one else was as good.

Indecently, I`m seeing her for a walk on Easter Monday. Again I know we will have an amazing time together and it will probably make me pine even more.

Ask yourself "What will would Lilian do?"

I don't think Lil knows what she's going to do.
🙂

My money's on Tiger, tbh.

OP.
Spring's been here a while.
Get your thing on.
Boogie.
In plain language, go out and get dirty, whilst antibiotics still have a chance.

If you still miss the ex by the 26th of December, go and tell her you love her.

Don't apologise, everyone likes an indecent arrangement now and then.

When you split up, did you have a break from each other and then come back as friends later, or did you just stop doing naughty things one day?

How does she feel about all this? Does she want to get back together? Are you just stringing each other along?

As a wise man once said, you need to shit or get off the pot.

My mrs was an ex for a bit.

Turns out the issue was me being a massive commitment phobe rather than the relationship as such. Been (back) together 7ish years.

Traces of the same issue in the op, but only you can know...

I think we might just be stringing each other along but tbh as mentioned she might be over it and have moved on .

We did have a thing at Christmas which was fun. May have been one last put things to bed kind of thing though .

LOL

I'm married to someone who was, for a bit, my ex. Made me realise that no one else was as good.

Me too - split for over a year (her choice), I moved on to someone else then she wooed me back. I always knew she was (and still is) the best person I could ever hope to know and be with. And no, this one isn't a Louise (although it is her middle name).

Does she want you back?

In my experience, run. run as fast as your little legs can carry you, don't look back. Ever.

A wise man once said "the green grass needs mowing more often". This has little or no relevance to your situation.

I'm shacked up with a Louise. Not married.

What does it mean. Good things hopefully or the bike that's just been delivered as her birthday present will be a waste.

As Robert de Niro (I think) said in Ronin, "Where there's doubt, there's no doubt"

Don't go back.

Me and Mrs Weeksy split once.... i think about 5 months.

We've now been married just under 10 years, so i think we can safely say we're back together.

Another one married to ex here, past 20y now. If you can be good friends as well as more, that's a pretty good sign IMO.

I'm still pretty close to my ex-wife.

I buried her in the back garden.

I am busy divorcing someone who I broke up with several times before we got married. For balance, like. 🙂

Don't go back.

or as De Niro said in Heat

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner"

this is easily resolved.. P.I.C.T.U.R.E.S... or is her profile on Tinder?
